A new virtual reality experience was revealed during Sony's press conference at the Tokyo Game Show 2017. It was just one of the few big announcements made by Sony at the annual expo.
The upcoming Japan Studio VR Music Festival will feature various franchises from Sony Japan Studio, the first-party video game production and development arm of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
